Apple, $AAPL, fans are starting to return their Vision Pros, per the Verge.
Comfort is a commonly cited reason for returns of the Vision Pro headset. Many users have reported experiencing headaches and motion sickness while using the device. The weight distribution, with most of the weight at the front, has also been a frequent complaint. Parker Ortolani, The Verge’s product manager, even mentioned that he believed using the device caused a burst blood vessel in his eye, an experience echoed by at least one other person who noted similar redness. (It's worth noting that VR headset users have long reported anecdotal issues like dry eyes and redness.)
"It's just too expensive and unwieldy to even try to get used to the constant headaches and eye strain I was experiencing. I'll be back for the next one," said Ortolani, who also discussed returning the device.
Another common criticism is that the Vision Pro doesn't offer enough productivity for its price. One user on Threads mentioned feeling dizzy when looking at Figma screens and found the device unsuitable for their work. Similarly, an engineer on the social media platform X commented that the "coding experience failed to convince [him]" and that focusing issues led to headaches.
It's uncertain how this vocal group of early adopters will influence the future of the Vision Pro. While many users have expressed intentions to return the device, some are eager to try a second-generation version. Others have noted that the technology itself isn't the problem, but rather the lack of a standout feature or comfort. The actual return rate and Apple's internal expectations for the Vision Pro remain unknown, despite these users sharing their experiences on social media.
